ʻOua te Ke Fakamaau

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. ʻOua te ke fakamaau,

    ʻA e kovi ʻa e kakaí,

    Kae vakai ki ho lotó,

    ʻIkai haʻo koví,

    ʻOua ʻe mamahi ha tahá,

    Hoko ko ho kaumeʻa,

    Lahi ʻa e lea ʻitá

    Foki mai pē ki ʻapí.

  2. 2. ʻOua ʻe vaʻinga ʻaki,

    Lelei ho kāingá,

    Hoko ia ko e koloa,

    Siueli mahuʻingá,

    Tuku ʻa e fakamaaú,

    Tupu ai ʻa e koví,

    Kāinga ne fakamāuʻi,

    Ko e kaumeʻa leleí.

Fakaleá: ʻOku ʻikai ʻilo pe ko e faʻu ʻa hai, ca. 1863
